Since Mr Knezevic has taken over the management, it goes down with this airport. All other airports in the region and in Eastern Europe are growing, only this management does not bring it to the row to bring more passengers. Sad affair. Let's see how this year develops.

This year will be really tough for all small, regional airports except BNX. I think Tuzla will also suffer and so will Osijek. European economy is no longer booming, demand is getting weaker and weaker.

In fact, they will now slowly expand until BEG reaches the contractually agreed 12 Million passengers per year. In Western Europe, no government would sign anything that would stop the growth of the domestic economy. Only in the Balkans is this possible. Sad thing...

Smaller airports are more sensitive than bigger ones, and even small changes can cause relatively high growth or drop in percentages. INI currently have only 19 weekly flights, so the introduction of one new line with 2 weekly flights is an increase of more than 10%. Also, cancelation of one line with 2 weekly flights means 10% drop. Compared to the previous year January INI had Malmo 2pw, and Dusseldorf 1pw canceled, and Vienna 2px added. That is 1pw flight less than in the same month last year.

That 1pw flight was half of the drop. Other half is probably caused by weather conditions. Canceled or redirected flights and probably fewer passengers on performed flights again because of the poor weather.

There is nothing to be worried about with few new flights added INI would again have double-digit growth at the year-end.

Ideally they would be: Paris, London, Rome, Brisel, Olso, Thessaloniki, Barcelona, ​​Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Malta, Istanbul. But let´s see what the it will be determined by the government as a PSO! I am sure Belgreade and Tivat will likely be on the list without any reason, but let see

Nope, Belgrade is not included as it can't be to a city that's in the same catchment area. That's what it says in the document. Also it can't be to a city that has more than 100.000 passengers per year.
